That's awesome! I can't think of a max equivalent off the top of my head. *goes to check modifier list*

Nothing that I can see. The only way to do it in max is the negatively extrude the object manually. Or possible the shell tool, but that's a little bit different.

If I negative extrude I have to recreate the interior shape myself dont I? By rescaling the face I am extruding as I do it.

Thats a right pain in the arse. I may go back to wings for this and then export to max.

Yea you can use inset and extrude or you can make the bottle and then use the shell mod to add the thickness.

I'm not sure if I understood your question but in max I think it's the normal modifier.

How would flipping the normals help?

Get the bottle, make a clone, but don't move it away from the original model you cloned it from. Bring up the normal modifier and make sure the flip normals box is checked. You should end up with the equivalent effect of the shell modifier, but without the thickness. Now all you gotta do is scale down the clone to reach the desired thickness...

or just use the shell modifier in the first place .

So the moral of the story is, it's much easier to do it in wings.

We should write to autodesk man, be like "Hey guys this 2 meg program can do this, you cant. Whats up with that?" Then after crushing their egos they will code it personally for us.

Yeh. And maybe they'd give us free copies for suggesting it.

They'll just say use the 'shell modifier' . I agree with you about MAX. It's really cool software, but can lack some really important features. I mean that boolean compound needs some serious improvement for starters. Another thing that I'd like is a more advanced measure tool, rather than having to keep using boxes all the time! If there was a way to snap the measure (from the measure tool) from one poly to another to get the distance, that would be really cool. Ah well, it's another thing to stick on my wishlist.
